Experience of Recruitment / Education
and / Or Experience Of What You Do

I’ve worked in Education Recruitment for nearly 15 years, having worked in HR for
various sectors before that. The key thing I love about working around
educators is meeting and drawing from the passion Teachers and Teaching
Assistants have for learners. Being a part of getting those people into the right roles is a real privilege.

My experience has allowed me to carry out my role as a chair of governors at a
local SEN school and also assist Birmingham City Council on school Interim
Executive Boards to help improve local schools.

​What Do You Do at Aspire People?

As one of Aspire’s Directors, I primarily look after the Marketing, Finance, HR
and Compliance teams. I am a CIPD chartered member, having a Masters in Human
Resource Management. I also help schools and teachers in my capacity’s as a
Chair of Governors, a Multi-Academy Trust Trustee, as well as an Interim
Executive Board member for the Birmingham City Council.​

What Do You Get a Kick out of in your
Role?

I am a father, a son, and a brother and like many others, remember my own
teachers and lecturers that made a difference to my life and the life of family
members. Also having a close family member with SEN needs and love the fact
that in Education Recruitment I can work hard helping people who make the
career choice of helping educate learners in my local community. ​

​What Would Your School Report Say?

Oh dear! I’m not sure I want to share this!  

I am quoting verbatim when I write “Daniel is a bright, able and likable student
but needs to avoid distractions and not be so cheeky to his teachers!”

I tend not to be so cheeky to teachers anymore.
